Xbox America's server has been seeing a dramatic increase in traffic. This surge in traffic caused the Xbox America server to go offline early this afternoon. The server has received some hardware upgrades, and we're back online.

Until I get everything sorted out, some aspects of Xbox America will remain offline to reduce load. This includes gamercard images and the site summary at the bottom of each page.

I have some planned optimizations that will also help reduce server load, but these will take a while to implement.

Sorry about all this, and hopefully we'll be back to normal&mdash;or better&mdash;soon enough.

Thanks for your patience,
Jackson

Update: The gamercard images are back up with a new caching mechanism that should temper their CPU usage.

Update 2: The site summaries at the bottom of each page are back as well. They also should be at least marginally more efficient.
